Chapter 73: All Adults

Surprised by Jiang Tiantian's directness, Shao Jingrui was stunned for a full five seconds before reacting, a flash of joy flashed in the evil peach blossom eyes, and he opened the car door from the inside: "We don't go to kindergarten." ”

Jiang Tiantian bent over and sat in.

Shi Xia just sent Fu Wenxi and Ruan Jiahuan away, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Tiantian sitting in Shao Jingrui's car.

I was shocked.

"Tiantian, don't ......" Before the words were finished, the substitute driver had already driven forward.

As soon as she was in a hurry, she wanted to chase forward.

Qiao Jin Sheng grabbed her hand from the outside and dragged her back, and said in a low voice: "They are all adults and know what they are doing." ”

When eating, Jiang Tiantian looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't see it.

He knew exactly what it meant for the two of them to leave together.

Shi Xia also knew this, so she was worried, although she didn't know Shao Jingrui's virtue too well, it was common for him to change girlfriends twice in three days. She was afraid that Jiang Tiantian would leave with him and suffer a loss.

Pushed Qiao Jin Sheng's hand away: "No, I have to call Da Tiantian." ”

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was snatched away by Qiao Jin Sheng, and the man said: "You don't need it yourself, it doesn't mean that others don't need it either." ”

Shi Xia was stunned.

Then he thought of the meaning of his words, his face turned red, and he glared at him with disgust: "Are you okay?"

"Good. ”

The man followed her, shoved the phone back into her bag, and pulled her into the car.

The substitute driver was Qiao Jinsheng's subordinates, and when he saw them coming up, he asked respectfully, "Boss, where are you going?"

Without waiting for Qiao Jin Sheng to speak, Shi Xia preemptively said, "Follow the car in front." The more she thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, Jiang Tiantian. Shao Jingrui is romantic, if he takes advantage of Jiang Tiantian and dumps her again, Jiang Tiantian will definitely be sad.

Qiao Jin Sheng's voice sank: "Don't follow." ”

Shi Xia lifted his eyes: "You can't ignore my sister's life and death in order to fulfill your brother." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng laughed angrily at her, reached out and pinched her fair face full of collagen, and said, "Shao Jingrui is measured and will not embarrass us." ”

Shixia: "......"

Or towards his brother.

Qiao Jinsheng didn't let the car chase, she forced Qiao Jinsheng to call Shao Jingrui and warn him not to mess around, before she forgave him.

The two of them walked to their lodgings.

When Xia downstairs, Qiao Jinsheng was reluctant to let her go upstairs.

Rolls-Royce middle sunshade, closed the back row is an independent space, Qiao Jin Sheng closed the curtain and hugged Shi Xia in his arms to make love. A low voice grinded in her ears: "Why don't you go upstairs, come home with me." ”

It wasn't the first time Shi Xia had heard him say that.

The little hand was on his chest, and there was a hint of provocation in his tone: "What are you going to do?"

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Today is your birthday, you can do whatever you want." ”

He couldn't take it anymore.

Especially when he heard Shao Jingrui say that "life is short, you must know how to enjoy it in time", he suddenly wanted to take his little things home.

Shi Xia smiled like a kitten.

nestled in his arms, trembling and trembling. Every time she trembled, his heart beat wildly, and his muscles tightened.

Unable to wait for her to answer, he was a little anxious: "To go?"

Shi Xiaxin said: She didn't get out of the car again, he asked the driver to turn around and go back with a word, does she still have the choice to go or not go?

She had to choose.

Of course she chosen-

"Go" was already on his lips, and before he could say it, a rapid phone rang in the car, which was Qiao Jinsheng's.

It's late, and calling at this point is in a hurry.

Shi Xia pushed Qiao Jin Sheng's chest: "You answer the phone first." ”

Qiao Jinsheng reluctantly took out his mobile phone.

Before answering, Shi Xia glanced at it, and the number was not broken on the phone, showing that it was an unfamiliar number. Qiao Jinsheng does not have the habit of saving his mobile phone number, but his brain is easy to use, and he basically makes it unforgettable, and it is a living phone book.

The number looked a little familiar to her.

It seems to be on the way.

What are you doing with Qiao Jin Sheng at this time on the road?

It can't be Jiang Tiantian's accident, right?

She felt a thrill in her heart.

Qiao Jin Sheng saw her look of interest, and after connecting it, he didn't use the earpiece, but directly turned on the speakerphone: "Hey." ”

Lu Tu's calm voice said: "I'm sorry to call you so late, I called Xia Xia several times and she didn't answer, are you together?"

A different color flashed in Qiao Jin Sheng's eyes.

It's also strange in the summer.

Quickly sat up from Qiao Jin Sheng's arms, took the bag and pulled out the phone.

When I opened it, there were several missed calls.

Qiao Jin Sheng didn't continue to answer Lu Tu's words, and looked at Shi Xia inquiringly, as if asking her how to answer.

Shi Xia directly took the phone over: "I'm here." ”

Lutum.

I didn't answer the phone several times, and then the two were together again. As an adult man with a logical, active and normal mind, he couldn't help but think of certain things on the way.

Three seconds later, he said, "I'm here at the moat bridge on Xinyang Road, and someone here has reported that a female corpse has been found, and I think it's necessary for you to come and take a look." ”

Shi Xia "chuckled" in his heart.

Female corpse, who?

Qiao Jin Sheng was angry when he heard this, and took the phone with a posture of wanting to ask for guilt: "Officer Lu, today is Xia Xia's birthday, do you have to ask her to see those messy things?"

The road was silent again.

It's not that he thinks about it, but this person, he thinks Shi Xia should be able to see it.

Shi Xia felt that if the other party was not important to her, the road would definitely not let her pass, so she opened her mouth to stop what Qiao Jin Sheng wanted to say next: "I'd better go over and take a look." ”

Although Qiao Jinsheng was not happy, he didn't really stop her.

Tell the driver to turn around and go to the Xinyang Road Moat Bridge.

The car drove to the gate of the community, and Shi Xia received a call from Xu Wenjing: "Xia Xia, Mom saw the car parked downstairs just now, are you back?"

Half an hour ago, when Qiao Jinsheng's car drove over, she saw it.

Standing in front of the window and waiting, she waited until the car drove outside the community again, and did not wait for her daughter to go upstairs, she was a little worried.

Shi Xia's heart sank.

Suddenly felt a little ashamed of his mother's concern, and whispered: "It's me, but now I suddenly have a little urgency, I have to go out again, and I may come back later." Mom, don't worry, Qiao Jinsheng is with me. ”

Hearing Qiao Jin Sheng's name, Xu Wenjing's face was much soothed.

Still uneasy to ask: "It's so late, what can't we deal with tomorrow?"

Shi Xia didn't dare to tell her mother about the female corpse, she was afraid that her mother would stay awake and wait for her to come back, so she made up an excuse casually: "How can the matter of being injured and sick be delayed, Mom, you go to bed first, I won't be too late." ”

Xu Wenjing's brows furrowed again: "Why do you have to work overtime again?"

Shixia: "......"

Sometimes lying is a particularly painful thing, telling a lie, and having to use many more lies to make it happen, it seems that she has to find a suitable opportunity to explain to her mother that she will no longer go to the hospital for internship.

Now I can only bite the bullet and respond: "It's not too often." ”

Xu Wenjing complained a few words about how much overtime the hospital had, and told her to work hard to become a qualified doctor while paying more attention to rest and taking care of her body. In the end, just when Shi Xia thought she was going to hang up the phone, she suddenly asked: "Xia Xia, Xiao Min has not been heard from since she was taken away by the police last time, how is her handling of affairs?"

Although Jiang Min's troubles did scare her, but in the end, in the end, she was the daughter she raised with hard work, Xu Wenjing still hoped that Jiang Min would be well in her heart.

Shi Xia was silent.

Perhaps because of her mother's sensitivity to her daughter's behavior, Xu Wenjing sensed that something was wrong with Shi Xia, and asked, "Xia Xia, are you hiding something from your mother?

Shi Xia's heart sank inch by inch.

If my mother knew that the person who drove the car that night and wanted to kill their mother and daughter was another daughter in my mother's heart, how distressed would she be? If my mother knew that Jiang Min was the one who wrote the report letter and caused my father to stumble to prison, would she always worry about whether something had happened to Jiang Min?

If she saw Jiang Min commit suicide at the police station, she had a trace of sympathy, at this time, all those sympathies were transformed into hatred.

How much she feels sorry for Xu Wenjing, how much she hates Jiang Min.

Trying to regain the lost voice, she forced a smile: "Mom, don't worry, what she committed is big or small, and after a while, she will be able to come out." ”

After saying that, sad tears almost fell.

But she didn't dare to cry, afraid that if she cried, her mother would hear her.

Fortunately, Xu Wenjing didn't doubt her words anymore, and didn't ask any more, but only muttered to herself as a comforting thought: "It's good if there is no big thing, this child is also quite pitiful, then the little parents are gone......

Shi Xia Xin said: She is pitiful at all.

It's a pity that you and your father have a good heart to raise a white-eyed wolf.

After Xu Wenjing finished speaking, she said, "Mom, I'm going to the hospital soon, you can sleep first, don't wait for me." ”

Xu Wenjing answered and hung up the phone.

As soon as the screen dimmed, the smile that Shi Xia had just forced out disappeared immediately.

Qiao Jin Sheng saw the sadness welling up in her eyes, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her back into his arms. Holding her little face, she said firmly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side." If you want to do it yourself, you can do it yourself, and if you don't want to do it yourself, there is me. ”

Shi Xia didn't say thank you.

Leaned softly into his arms, feeling the warmth and stability brought to her by the man's strong chest.

Yes, there is him.

No matter what happens in the future, he will stand by his side.

She has something to rely on.

Xinyang Road is the main road that runs through the east and west of Jiangcheng, and the Xinyang Road moat bridge is almost to the easternmost part of Jiangcheng, and the community where Shi Xia lives is in the south of the city, and it took about an hour to run over.

By the time we arrived, it was almost early in the morning.

Under the street lamp, I saw several police cars parked on the side of the road in front of me from a distance.

A group of people is busy.

The road is tall and tall, and it is easy to find in the crowd.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Shi Xia opened the door and wanted to move forward, but was dragged by the man who got out of the car after her.

Shi Xia was puzzled.

The man said, "What's in a hurry?"

Seeing that the corpse was not collecting flowers, he ran forward in such a hurry. Pulled her behind him, made a protective gesture, and then pulled her step by step towards the crowd unhurriedly.

Shixia: "......"

She'd seen more corpses than he'd ever eaten.

But Shi Xia dared to think about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. It's not that she is afraid that Qiao Jinsheng will be angry, she is afraid that after she says it, Qiao Jinsheng will see that the rice will have a psychological shadow.

If you don't eat, you're in trouble.

There is an empty field on one side of the bridge, and the police have already set up a cordon. Qiao Jin Sheng and Shi Xia wanted to go inside, but were stopped by the policeman standing next to them: "Police work is being carried out inside, you can't go in." ”

Shi Xia wanted to explain, but found them on the way.

Greeted from afar: "It's the family of the deceased, I called." ”

When the police heard this, they immediately changed their attitude, and said to Shi Xia and Qiao Jin Sheng with sympathy: "I'm sorry." "Reach out and pick up the cordon and let Shi Xia pass.

Shi Xia was stunned for a long time.

Female corpse –

She's familyβ€”

The person who can meet these two conditions is probably Jiang Min's.

On the way here, she didn't think about this possibility, but Jiang Min was able to escape from the detention center by pretending to commit suicide, and the means were not clever, why did she die suddenly?

was stunned, and was led into the cordon by Qiao Jinsheng.

The road greeted.

It could be seen that he was a little irritable, so he took out a cigarette and handed it to Qiao Jin Sheng: "It's definitely not as good as what you usually smoke, so make do with one." ”

Qiao Jinsheng took it.

Tu Tu took out a lighter to help him nod his head, and also lit one for himself.

He sucked it out and spit it out, and then said to Shi Xia: "The person has been dead for several days, that is, the temperature is low now and it has not rotted, this is not the first scene." ”

Shi Xia frowned: "What about the cause of death?"

On the way, he took another puff of cigarette and turned his head to look at the forensic doctor who was busy behind him: "It's being examined, although the body is not decomposed, but it has been soaked in water for several days and is swollen." There were more than two dozen wounds on his body, several of which looked like fatal wounds. ”

Shi Xia was speechless for a long time in surprise.

More than two dozen woundsβ€”

When she heard that Lu Tu said that it was not the first scene, she still wondered if it was Jiang Min who fell into the water when she drove into her that day, and did not escape, but was knocked unconscious and washed here by the water.

But the timing is not right.

Now when I heard about the more than 20 wounds on my body, I couldn't help but be shocked.

So many injuries, basically lined up for accidents and suicides.

Just thinking about it, Lu Tu withdrew his gaze from the forensic doctor and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is basically possible to queue up for an accident, and we initially suspect that it is a vendetta." ”

Shi Xia repeated: "Vendetta?"

Lu Tu said "um": "You used to have a close relationship, do you know who she usually comes and goes?"

Shi Xia thought about it for a moment.

Finally shook his head.

Speaking of Jiang Min's friends, she really doesn't know any of them. Before breaking up with Jiang Min, she was conceited that Jiang Min only had a good relationship with her and only regarded herself as a sister. Later, she fell out, and when she recalled what Jiang Min had done over the years, she was shocked that she had never been close to Jiang Min.

Except for herself, she didn't know anyone else around Jiang Min.

I didn't have much hope on the way, and signaled to the forensic doctor: "It's not very good-looking, if you're not afraid of nightmares, just go over and take a look if you want to." ”

Before they spoke, Qiao Jin Sheng never interjected.

Hearing that the road asked Shi Xia to go over to see the corpse, his brows furrowed, and he stopped Shi Xia: "You are a medical student, haven't you seen enough corpses in class?" ”

I can't go back and have nightmares.

Shi Xia glanced over there, but really didn't move forward, only asked for directions: "You police handle the case, shouldn't you take the corpse back for autopsy?" Why are you here?"

She's fine, if she is met by a citizen who comes out for a walk at night, it will be a nightmare.

It is estimated that this psychological shadow will not be seen for ten or eight years.

Lu Tu didn't care much: "I'll explain this to you later, I called you, and I still want to ask you." Last time you and your aunt had an accident in the community and were almost hit by a car, did you see clearly at the time?

Shi Xia nodded firmly: "I'm pretty sure it's her." ”

At that time, the bodyguard's car rushed over, and the light just hit the cab of the off-road vehicle, illuminating Jiang Min's face clearly.

There was no way she could be mistaken.

Lu Tu muttered: "That's weird. ”

Shi Xia said: "Is there any clue that doesn't match?"

Lu Tu replied: "If it was really Jiang Min who did it, depending on the impact of the off-road vehicle at that time, even if Jiang Min was not seriously injured, he was at least injured." It was only half a month since then, and no matter how small the wound was, it would not disappear in half a month. But the injuries on her body all looked like they were inflicted at the same time. ”

Hearing what Lu Tu said, Shi Xia was also puzzled.

I can't help but want to go up and take a look.

Qiao Jin Sheng couldn't bear to stop her, so he had to follow her to the forensic doctor's side.

Shi Xia bent down to look.

Before I could get closer, a pungent fishy smell came to my face.

I didn't smell where they were standing just now, because they happened to be standing upwind, and the smell didn't spread to this side. Now that I'm getting closer, I feel the unacceptable breath.

Shi Xia reached out and covered his nose.

However, Qiao Jin Sheng only frowned slightly, and no other expression appeared on his calm face.

The medical examiner looked to be in his fifties and had a gray beard.

Ignoring them, he only focused on the work at hand, and from time to time told the assistant around him the results of his findings, and the assistant made a record.

Shi Xia saw that Jiang Min's swollen body was covered with large and small wounds.

Some of them were soaked in water, and the flesh skin was open and cracked to the sides, and although there was no blood, it still looked shocking.

Shi Xia squatted down beside the old forensic doctor and carefully examined the wound, only to get a look from the old forensic doctor.

There is only one look.

The old forensic doctor then got back to work.

Shi Xia had an embarrassment that the other party suspected that she was here to take over his work.

A gust of wind blew, and she was almost smoky by the smell, and she couldn't help pinching her nose. At this time, Qiao Jinsheng handed over a medical mask: "If you can't do it, don't be strong." ”

Shi Xia didn't know where he got it, but he still took it and put it on.

The old forensic doctor inserted a tool into a wound on Jiang Min's chest, apparently trying to determine which wound caused Jiang Min's death.

Shi Xia looked around and said to the old medical examiner: "I think the cause of death is probably a brain impact." ”

Jiang Min had a scar on his forehead, and because he had been blistered for too long, the outline of the wound was no longer obvious, leaving only patches of white flesh.

The old forensic doctor glanced at where she was.

Still stubbornly stuffed the tool into the wound on the chest, judging from the size of the wound alone, the wound on the top of the head is indeed not worth mentioning.

Qiao Jin Sheng's face turned dark.

Probably because the old forensic doctor ignored Shi Xia, making him feel that this old guy didn't give his little thing face. But they were on official business, and he couldn't make things difficult in person.

For now.

The old forensic doctor gave up his suspicion of the wound after trying it.

I tried the other two places on the chest, but they all looked shocking, but the actual wound had not reached the internal organs, and it was impossible to reach and cause death.

Disappointed, he locked his eyes on the wound that Shi Xia said.

It is indeed possible that the impact on the brain was the direct cause of death, and the body was found in the water, and there is also a possibility that the deceased drowned after being knocked unconscious.

In any case, these two points have to be dissected in depth.

got up, pulled off the rubber gloves on his hands, and said to Lu Tu: "Take the people back, there is no way to be sure of death now." ”

Tu Tu nodded.

A few people were beckoned to come over, put the body in a body bag, and carried it to the car.

The medical examiner explained a few words to him and left with his assistant.

As soon as they left, the police quickly cleaned up the scene.

Because it was not the first scene, and the person was found in the water, and there was no meaning to protect the scene, a large number of police forces left ahead of schedule, and three or four people removed the cordon.

I didn't go on the road.

looked at Shi Xia apologetically: "I'm sorry for blocking you on your birthday." ”

Shi Xia said: "It's okay, if you don't call me, I guess the police will have to call my mother." I don't want my mother to come forward more than I am unlucky. Besides, this kind of accident is not bad luck. ”

Lu Tu said: "If it is really verified that Jiang Min is the identity of the deceased, I am afraid that many people will be unlucky." ”

Shi Xia was puzzled: "Why?"

Before Lu Tu could speak, Qiao Jin Sheng answered for him: "Jiang Min is still serving her sentence, and she faked her death and escaped from prison, I'm afraid she can't do it alone." Inside, I don't know how many people are cooperating with her. ”

Shi Xia suddenly realized.

Jiang Min framed his father, and then someone added fuel to the fire, and he was really sent to prison against his father. If you can find out the people who helped Jiang Min behind your back, wouldn't there be some clues about your father's affairs?

Shi Xia thought in his heart.

Qiao Jinsheng didn't know what she was thinking, so he stepped forward and shook her hand, wanting to give her a little comfort. A cold chill came from the palm of his hand, and the man's brows furrowed: "Why are your hands so cold?"

He took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

Shi Xia was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he instinctively refused: "I'm not cold." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng put her coat back on, wrapped her hands heavily, and said in a deep voice: "It's cold or not, it's all for me to wear." ”

Shixia: "......"

Lu Tu finally knew why Jiang Tiantian complained about them every time.

He, an older young man, couldn't stand it a little bit.

Leaving a sentence of "I'll call you if I have news", he turned around and left.

Shi Xia said, "You didn't drive, did you?" I'll send you back. ”

Tu Tu waved his hand: "No need." ”

The next day, the cause of Jiang Min's death was confirmed, and the material extracted from her head wound was fundamentally good, and the police quickly locked down the first scene.
